So for clarity, your purging vapor through your charging hose when you hook up, then bleeding your liquid side/charging hose back Into the suction side when your finished?

Yep. I also tend to empty by hoses before I hang them back up in the truck. Just a thing I do. If I don't they tend to come loose and dump anyways.

Basically just different size Hose configurations and low loss fitting configuratons

Multiple manifolds are almost a MUST. I have 2 sets of digicools in the truck and haven't felt undergunned in any situation.

With digitals starting at $300, that isn't very likely... Not saying that I haven't done it

If I had a tablet I would download it just as tutorial on my FP wireless stuff.

Thanks, my editing was a little off but it's the best I can do for a refrigerant mechanic. I will be posting a video with the sman4 on the commercial side soon, I need to shoot a few more things and edit a bit.

Nice Video! A couple quick tips: 1) sync the ODDB to the SMAN4 first and then synce the SMAN4 to the HG3. 1) Sync the SDP2 second. This way makes things just a little smoother. Nice job and thanks for posting!
